Rebel Knitter's Purim Costume

They stared at me intently. Hands on waists & wide-eyed.

If you're coming to the school to teach tomorrow, you HAVE TO, HAVE TO, HAVE TO have a costume. It's the Purim Carnival, you know... Duh?!?!?

Um... Okay.

I'm not a Queen Esther or Vashti type so, I needed to come up with something.

Fast.
As I teach knitting on Friday afternoons at the kids' school & the tooth fairy has visited my house twice this past week, I had to go with the combined theme.

Here she is:




I know, I know, no image of the rebel herself in the shots, but hey, it's kind of hard to photograph the wings on your back when you're also the photographer.

Also, I wore my most fuzzy bright mohair cardi (yes, after it was all knitted up I figured out why the skeins were on sale). I call that sweater my Wookie Cardi. Also A couple of 10 mm needles criss-crossed through the back of the wings/sweater to show that I'm a Hard Core knitter, you know...

Oh, I almost, this little gem (as modelled by my dear daughter)What is a knitting Fairy without her trusty "frogger"....

How much fun is that?
